north Carolinas high school graduation rate has increased from 68

percent in 2006 to 77.8 percent in 2011. While the graduation pecentages are straightforward, the factors contributing to this increa

medial or so-called Developmental English, reading, and/or mathematics course[s] from 2007 to 2009.1 Data from theNC Community College System (NCCCS) show that an increasing number of graduates from North Carolina publicschools lack the basic skills needed to enroll in college-level courses required for their chosen program. Signicantincreases in English and mathematics remediation suggest that the standards for high school graduation remainalarmingly low. These low standards are one of a number of factors that provide marginal students an easier path to

graduation, thereby helping to increase North Carolinas graduation rate.Unfortunately, remediation and graduation data are limited. Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide an over

view of a complex issue that deserves greater attention from the educational research community. Researchers shouldconduct a comprehensive study of the relationship between graduation and remediation using multiple, multi-yearstudent performance metrics. Additional studies should include an assessment of the costs of remediation, successfuinitiatives that decrease the remediation rate, and a closer examination of the quality of Developmental instructionat all post-secondary institutions.

Limitations o this stud

This study is limited to students enrolled in an NC Community College System institution. It does not include

students who are required to enroll in a remedial class at a four-year college or university. It also does not account forstudents who do not possess the requisite skills or knowledge to function in a workplace.

A focus on community college students is advantageous for several reasons. First, the NCCCS does an admirablejob of maintaining data on student enrollment for all institutions in the states community college system. SecondNorth Carolinas 58 community colleges are nancially and geographically accessible to most of the states high schoograduates. Finally, community colleges enroll students with a broad range of academic goals and interests fromcareer and technical education to eventual enrollment in a four-year college or university. In sum, community collegesprovide a better representation of the typical North Carolina high school graduate than students who enroll in atraditional, four-year college or university.

tatewide Graduation Rates and Developmental course nrollment

According to the NC Department of Public Instruction, North Carolinas four-year graduation rate increased by2.3 percent from 69.5 percent to 71.8 percent between 2007 and 2009 (see Table 1).2 The graduation rate formulatracks the number of students who begin ninth-grade and graduate four years later. This includes students who trans-ferred into the state and does not include students who transferred out of the state or died. The U.S. Department ofEducation does not permit school districts or states to count GED students as high school graduates.3

As a percentage of the total graduating population, students who enroll in a Developmental class account for ap-proximately 20 percent of all high school graduates in North Carolina.4 Of course, that does not include students whoenroll in a remedial course in another institution of higher education, such as a four-year college, university, or tradeschool. Thus, the full proportion of high school graduates who do not possess the requisite English, reading, and math

ematics ability likely exceeds 20 percent.

Between 2007 and 2009, the percentage of students who enrolled in one or more Developmental courses at an NCcommunity college increased by seven percent (see Table 2). Between 2007 and 2009, an additional 2,400 studentsenrolled in remedial English. Developmental reading added over 1,300 students, and Developmental mathematicsincrease by over 2,400 students.5

During the 2009-10 school year, over one-half of students enrolled in a North Carolina community college took aremedial mathematics course. Nearly 40 percent of students enrolled in a remedial English course. In sum, 64 percent

of new community college students enrolled in one or more remedial courses, a 7 percent increase from the 2007-08school year. (For school-level data, see the Appendix to this report.)

According to one NCCCS ofcial, Developmental education has been called a graveyard of dreams for many lowskilled students.6 It is not difcult to see why. Of the thousands of students required to enroll in a DevelopmentalEnglish, reading, or mathematics course, an average of 20 percent of them do not earn a C or better.7 Pass rates forDevelopmental mathematics courses approached 75 percent. Fortunately, 2009 pass rates in these courses have re-mained at or below their 2007 levels.

Conclusion

During this years state budget debate, Chairman of the State Board of Education Bill Harrison contended, NorthCarolinas system of education is not broken. In fact, North Carolinas system of education is a model for states acrossthe country.8 He pointed to years of steady increases in North Carolinas graduation rate, including the highestlevel ever recorded in 2009-10, at 74.2 percent. On the surface, North Carolinas increasing graduation rate appearsto signal a systematic improvement in our public schools. But quantity is not the same as quality. As North Carolinas

public school districts have continued to increase their graduation rate, they have done so at the expense of providinggraduates with basic literacy and numeracy skills.

If taxpayers want North Carolina to be economically competitive, then they must not believe state education of-cials who call our public school system a model of excellence. A truly outstanding public school system would notrequire two out of three community college students to enroll in a remedial English, reading, or mathematics class

Rather, they should graduate high school with the knowledge and skills required to be successful in any post-graduateendeavor they choose.

Appendix. School-Level Graduation Rates and Developmental Course Enrollment

The NC Community College System maintains data that match student enrollment in Developmental courses to

their former school.9

The following table includes high schools that 1) have three years of both graduation and Developmental course

enrollment data available and 2) have not been divided into separate schools-within-a-school any time between

2007 and 2009. Thus, a number of high schools are not included. The table includes only students who have

taken a Developmental course the year after their graduation from high school. All Developmental statistics

cover the year following the graduation year.10
